BRECKSVILLE, Ohio -- There's a little something for everyone, regardless of age, in this edition of Morning Update:

Former Plain Dealer columnist Connie Schultz, journalist Peter Chakerian and Akron author David Giffels will talk about recent changes in Cleveland and Akron and why those cities are still good places to call home, from 7-8:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Brecksville branch library, 9089 Brecksville Road. Giffels' new book, "The Hard Way on Purpose: Essays and Dispatches from the Rust Belt," explores the meaning of identity and place. Call 440-526-1102.

Brecksville Community Center, 1 Community Drive, will try something different this year and host an Aqua Easter Egg Hunt. Hunters will look for floating and sinking eggs in the Human Services therapy pool, which is warm and shallow. Everyone will receive a prize, but one magic egg will contain a special prize. The cost is $6 for center members, $8 for nonmembers, $10 for nonresidents and $3 for each additional child.

Cuyahoga Valley National Park needs volunteers to remove invasive shrubs and plant native trees on Earth Day April 19. Children are invited to take part as well as adults. Register at nps.gov/cuva or call 330-657-2299.
